of positive things about your community? Do you have regular resident functions? Appreciation parties? Early bird payment contests? These simple and often inexpensive things can make a world of difference. We have to approach the situation with a double whammy of effort, in getting new residents and closing the back door to keep the ones we have.
n these uncertain times, traffic and leasing activity are down, occupancies are down and competition is fierce in the rental industry. The Las Vegas market is being affected by not only the housing market, but the apparent lack of jobs and what many are calling the verge of a recession. Houses are sitting unsold, furniture stores are closing everywhere and though there has recently been a slight increase in occupancy market wide, it just feels like people aren’t moving. What can we do?
Does your resident newsletter have property specific articles? I submit to you, that this is a great venue for you to point out things to keep them from moving.

now and again. Routines develop easily. We come in, unlock the door, flip the “closed” sign to “open” and start some coffee. How does our office look to someone coming in for the first time? How does it smell? Are there lights out? Are the desks a mess of papers from the evening prior? Is our “goodie” tray a mess of crumbs? Your door should not be opened to allow the public inside until you’re truly ready to welcome them in to a warm, bright and friendly office. The prospects see this before they ever see a model, so what kind of first impression is it creating? Just like a bad ad can unsell a product, a badly organized or “dirty” office can close their mind before they ever sit down at your desk. A prospect should never be an interruption, but many times get the impression they are. Stand to greet them. Smile. Be proud of your product and you’ve already started closing before words are ever spoken.

Fair Housing Focus:
“BEWARE THE (ALMOST)
IDES OF MARCH”
must have certain design features, and the general property must have certain features as well. Now the guidelines are extensive, confusing and conflicting (and voluminous in the telling), but in a nutshell here is what the guidelines require:
$ Buildings
must have an accessible entrance on an accessible route.
by Nadeen Green
$ Public and common use areas must be accessible and usable.
$ All doors designed for passage must be usable.
$ There must be an accessible route into and through a covered unit.
$ Light
switches, electrical outlets, thermostats, and the other environmental controls in covered units must be in accessible location.
$ The tub, shower, and toilet areas in covered units must have reinforced walls should the resident want to have grab bars installed.
The Ides of March is March 15th and that date was a momentous one (albeit not a good one) for Julius Caesar. The 13th of March, 1991 is a momentous day in fair housing, although it is not the Ides of March (although in some months, such as April, the Ides are the 13th!) There now, are you thoroughly confused? And what on earth does this have to do with fair housing?
R
eady? The Fair Housing Amendments Act established protectedclass status for people with handicaps when it was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on September 13, 1988. This law went into effect 6 months later on March 12, 1989. One of the substantial provisions of this new act was the new-construction requirements (the fair housing accessibility guidelines). But since there were apartment communi-
ties in the process of actually being built, the “deadline” for these requirements was extended for 2 more years. Thus, the construction accessibility guidelines went into effect for certain units that were first occupied on or after March 13, 1991. Essentially the law says that as to multi-family housing (4 or more units), all ground floor and elevator accessible apartments (“covered units”) built for first occupancy on or after March 13, 1991,
14
$ The bathrooms and kitchens of covered units must be usable. Unfortunately, testing and lawsuits have shown that as much as fifty per cent of new construction may have been built incorrectly. Even if you or your company were not the builder or developer of the community, you have liability for the “condition” of the apartments. And the day-to-day management and decision making as to the needs of your prospects or residents is often based on that important March 13, 1991 date. Let’s apply this to a real-world scenario and work through an analysis or flow chart, if you will, of what you need to think about. A resident who must use a wheelchair advises you that one of the doorways in their unit just isn’t wide enough to easily accommodate that
www.snmaonline.org
MARCH APRIL 2008
Question 2: Is the unit in question a “covered unit,” that is, one on the ground floor or accessible by elevator?
Testing and lawsuits have
If it is not a covered unit, you have no responsibility, but again, you must allow the resident to make the modification if they so wish. If it is a covered unit, then:
shown that as much as fifty per cent of new construction may have been built incorrectly. wheelchair (they can get through, but it is a struggle to get lined up just right and go through that doorway). Question 1: When was this community first occupied? If your property received its certificate of occupancy before March 13, 1991, then you have no legal responsibility yourself as to that doorway (your property did not have to be built subject to the fair housing accessibility guidelines). However, if the resident would like to widen the doorway in a safe, sound and workmanlike manner, you must grant permission for that to happen at the resident’s cost. This is a reasonable modification. When the resident is ready to move out you cannot require the doorway to be made narrow again, as the modification does not affect the usability of the doorway for future residents.
Question 3: How wide is the doorway? Does it meet the fair housing accessibility guidelines? Now you will have to pull out a tape and measure that doorway, and then seek out a reference or source to determine whether that doorway was built correctly (wide enough to begin with). If so, then again you have no further responsibility but must allow the resident to modify. If not, you have both an immediate and long range problem. The immediate problem is that making that modification to the doorway is now your responsibility. Do it! The long range problem is that your community may be in continuing violation of the Fair Housing Act, and it may not just be a doorway that is problematic.
If your property was first occupied on or after March 13, 1991, then the analysis must continue:

There may be a multitude of “sins” in your construction, and other landlords who have found themselves in a similar situation have paid as much as a million dollars in “retribution!” Your situation in such a case is way beyond the scope of the article. The Ides of March proved to be an ill-fated date for Caesar; the almost-Ides of March 1991 may be ill-fated for the landlord who has a community that was not built in compliance with fair housing law. You owe it to your prospects, your residents and yourself to understand just where you stand as to this important matter. Beware! Q
